The handiwork of the American Indian fs the subject cf an interesting exhibit and gale at Woodward & Lecthrop’s, where there is an extensive collection of art nov- elties of the Navajo and Pueblo Indians. ‘The collection consists of rugs, robes, cu- rios and den furnishings, all of which were made by the red man, and which as a mat- ter of information, as well as education, are well worth a visit. This exhibition was opened to the public this morning, and throughout the day large crowds of people have gone to see it. A large pertion of the third floor on the 10th et side of the firm’s building has been devoted to this purpose, and now presents ance of a gigantic wigwam, con- es of many varieties, hues A great deal of interest is the brilliant colored rugs made » Navajo Indians, which are of a de- cidedly uncommon design and totally dif- ferent from our own rugs of today. There Is also 2 wide range of Pueblo Indian pot- tery, in all shapes and designs, which are weil worth seeing.

The officials of the Japanese legation in this city are satisfied that Mr. Hoshi Toru, the Japanese minister, who has just reach- ed San Francisco from Japan, has been misrepresented In the statements attriouted to him in dispatches from San Francisco as to the attitude of Japan on the ques- tion cf the annexation of Hawali. One of them said that the minister could not have made the statements imputed to him. “In the first place,” said he, “there is no change in the Japanese attitude respect- ing Hawaii that would lead the minister to make such a declaration, and even were there a foundation for such an assertion Mr. Hoshi is teo much of a diplomat to talk thus freely for publication. “Mr. Hoshi is returning to Washington with important instructions respecting the Hawaiian affair, but they are not of a nature to cause apprehension on the part of the United States. Japan has main- tained from the first that her vested rights in Hawaii must be respected by the United States in the event of annexation, and has felt that it is but the part of Justice fer the United States to assume a contingent responsibility for the liability of the Ha- waiians in the event of an adv cision of an arbiter in the immig difficulty. “Mr. Hoshi bas authoritatively stated time and again that Japan has no desire to annex Hawall, and has said that :f any nation were to take the islands Japan wculd prefer that it be the United States.” His Reported Views. Minister Hoshi is reported in San Fran- cisco as saying: “I desire to say positively that Japan is opposed to the annexation of Hawail by the United States. The recent re- ports that Japan had withdrawn her op- position are untrue. Japan has certain in- terests in the Sandwich Islands which the United States should respect. I be- lieve this matter will be amicably ad- Justed. “There will ez be serious troubl United Stares annexes the taande wine out regard to ovr interests there. 1 do not believe the United States will act unfairly.

Pastoral Relation Between Rev. Livingston and Hyattsville Church Dissolved — Other Matters. A meeting of the presbytery of Washing- ton city was held this morning in the Fourth Presbyterian Church, on 9th strect near G street. Rev. Dr. Bittinger, the moderator, presided, and Rev. C. Alvin Smith was the clerk. A request was made by Rev. C. M. Liv- ingston, the pastor of the church at Hy- attsville, that his pastoral relations with the church be dissolved.. He stated that his reason for taking this step was his poor health, Mr. Holden, who represented the congre- gation, read a resofution adopted by that body, expressive of their regret at the ne- cessity of this action and their apprecia- tion of Mr. Livingston's services. Remarks were made by Rev. Dr. Sunder- land and others of the regard entertained for Mr. Livingston and regret that his health compelled such a step, and a motion was adopted granting the request for a dissolution of the relation. Mr. Livingston's Reply. Mr. Livingston replied to the kind words that had been uttered, and spoke cf his regret in leaving the church, the presbytery and the city of Washington. He asked that a letter of dismissal to the presbytery of Philadelphia North be granted to him, and, on motion, this request was complied with. Mr. Livingston further stated that he desired the dissolution of the pastoral re- lations to take place after the first of the year. Mr. Livingston was appointed to de- clare the pulpit vacant, and Rev. Dr. Luc- cock was appointed to act as moderator of the session of the church until the next stated meeting of the presbytery. A motion was made that Rev. J. W. Rus- sell of Kearney, Neb., be received as mem- ber of the presbytery. Rev. Dr. Sunderland stated that Mr. Rus- sell was a teacher of a Bible class in the Sunday school attached to the First Pres- byterian Church, and that he was also en- gaged in work in the Central Union Mis- sion. He said he had been favorably im-- Pressed with his Christian character. The motion to receive Mr. Russell was adopted. A Call Presented. A call to the pastorate of the church at Lewinsville and Vienna, Va., to Rev. David W. Montgomery was presented to the pres- bytery ‘for its approval. Mr. Montgomery stated that he was not at this time prepared to give a reply to this call, and it was thereupon decided to defer action. Rev. Mr. Verbricke, for the committee appointed to arrange for the celebration of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the adoption of the Westminster stand- ards, reported that the event was cele- brated the evening of the 15th of Novem- ber, when the principal address was made by Rev. Dr. Radcliffe, and one also by Rev. |v gLet Him Anticipate Christmas Tomorrow. Millinery Opening.

Rev. Dr. Sunderland inquired if there was any fund available for the printing of the addresses delivered by Rev. Drs. sittenger ffe at the anniversary celebra- The moderator replied that he knew of no such fund, and Rev. Dr. waston moved that the board of publication be re- quested to publish the addresses, It was stated by Rev. Dr. Ramsdell that Dr. Radcliffe would probably be invited to deliver the address before the synod at its meeting in Baltimore, and he thought that some arrangement would be made then for printing the address. In view of this statement it was decided to take no action in the matter. Mr. Gale's Services, The attention of the presbytery was called to a proposition to employ Mr. Gale, a missionary from Corea, to deliver ad- dresses before the various Sunday schools im the presbytery on the subject of foreign missions, with the addition that it was ex- pected $550 would be raised to supplement Mr. Gale’s salary. Reference was also made to the regard in which Mr. Gale was held by the Corean colony of this city, which included, it was said, the heir pre- sumptive to the throne. The chairman of the foreign mission committe, Rev. Mr. Verbrycke, read a let- ter from Dr. Ellenwood, calling attention to the debit of the foreign board, and the need of adopting measures to pay It off. It was stated that the women societies were arranging to hold a meeting Friday evening of the week of prayer in the in- terest of missions, and that it was ex- pected that Rev. Robert Speir, one of the secretaries of the foreign board, would be present and would make an address. Expression of Sympathy. A resolution was offered by Dr. Hamlin to the effect “that presby- tery expresses it profound sympathy with the board of foreign missions in its present condition of embarrassing debt, and im- presses upon pastors and sessions the urgent duty of affording the congregations as soon as possible the opportunity of giv- ing specifically toward the cancellation of the debt.” The resolution was adopted by a rising vote. A letter of dismissal of Rev. Edward Eells from the presbytery of Lackawanna to the presbytery of Washington was pre- sented, and on motion it was ordered that he should be enrolled as a member of the presbytery. Mr. Eells asked that he be given permis- sion to work outside of the boundary of presbytery, which v.as granted. The presbytery then adjourned. —_ SCHROEDER'’S TRANSFER. Rev. MGR. Rumor That He It: Been Tendered a Professorship. A dispatch from Berlin states that the Prussian minister of education and ecclesi- astical affairs has appointed Mgr. Schroe- der of the Catholic University to the fac- ulty of the Catholic Academy at Muenster, the capital of Westphalia. Nothing is known of this appointment at the univer- sity. It is thought, however, that the dis- patch is correct. A dispitch from Rome to the Philadel- phia Press, dated yesterday, 1s to the effect that the pope “is about to publicly an- nounce the transfer cf the University of Washington from the control and supervi- sion of the propaganda to the congregation’ of studies, which is a committee of car- dinals and prelates presided over by Car- dina) Satolli. “The compliment to the United States in the matter {s to be found in the fact that America has until now been regarded as being inpartibus infidellum, and as a mis- sionary or heathen country, and as such subject to the great missionary department here, known as the propaganda. “By transferring the Washington univer- sity to the congregation of studies, XIII practically places the United States upon the same level with the full-fledged Catholic countries of Europe, which are exempt from the control of the pro; da, and which deal with the holy father di- rect.” Se cosT HIM THREE DOLLARS, t Vender Fined for Obstructi: wes the Sidewalk, ee James Moore, a well-dressed young white man, was fined $3 today by Judge Scott, in the Police Court, for obstructing the side- walk on Pennsylvania avenue with a table.

A session of Congress has seldom opene1 with so much uncertainty as to what is be- fore it. Usually there is something definite to be done in line with a policy previousiy formed. Now there is a difference of opin- ion as to most things on the part of those who are responsible for forming a policy, and there is, cs well, a conflict between what most people think ought to be done and what there is any possibility of doing. It is fully recognized that in the economy of legislation—so far as there is such a thing—the policy of the house is shaped by the Speaker. In most things of importance his ideas are apt to prevail—especially when ir. Reed is Speaker. It has already come to be pretty generally understood that Mr. Reed’s judgment is that this session should be kept pretty strictly down to routine bus- iness, and that a short session should be aimed at. It is understood that he has no sympathy with the effort to have Congress interfere in the Cuban matter, and that he dces not think it wise to attempt general financial reform at this time. He would, it is understood, have this session marked for its conservatism and its business-like promptness. It is quite evident, however, that the spirit of Congress is not so conservative. The Cuban sentiment is strong, and there is quite a powerful faction who are deter- mined to make a fight for financial legisla- tion. The latter have the support of the President in his recommendation of legis- lation. The Cuban sympathizers have not this executive support for.action. _ ‘With the President and the Speaker both opposed to action as to Cuba, the sentiment of the House is apt to be held in check, un- less something unforeseen happens in Cuba. But with a division ot opinion on the policy with respect to attempting financial legis- lation, there is no telling what may be done. There is likely to be considerable agitation of both questions before the session is old. The question of enforcing economy of appropriations _ which will probably occupy the Speaktr very seriously, and one which will be difficult to deal with. Some men in both houses ef Congress are urging the necessity for additional revenue legisla- tion. They say that an abundant revenuc must be had at once, and are urging an in- crease of the beer tax.

The much-mooted question as to who shall christen the battle ship Kentucky has been settled, so far as the Navy Depart- tment is concerned. As is well-known, Sec- retary Long requested the governor of Kentucky to select a young lady to per- fcrm that duty. Acting upon the advice of friends, the governor had practically decid- ed to name his daughtetr, Miss Christine Bradley, who is a student at the Washing- ton College at Eckington. When this fact became known, Miss Har- riet Bainbridge Richardson of the blue | grass state entered a most erergetic pro- test. She published a statement to the ef- fect that ex-Secretary Herbert had pre- viously arranged that she should act as the sponsor of the vessel on the occasion of its launching. A controversy followed, amounting almost to @ public scandal, in the course of which it developed that Mr. Herbert had long ago advised Miss Richardson that he would be unable to make good his promise to Miss Richardson, for the reason that all the ar- rangements for the launching were in the hands of his successor in office. Learning that Governor Bradley had some delicacy in carrying out his original purpose to nominate his daughter for the duty, Secretary Long telegraphed him Sat- urday that if agreeable to him he (Secre- tary Long) would be glad to extend an Invitation to his daughter to christen the Kentucky. The governor replied that such course would be entirely agreeable to him, whereupon the Secretary today addressed a personal letter to Miss Bradley, extend- ing his compliments and saying he would esteem it an honor if she would perform the duty of- christening the battleship named in honor of the state of which her father is the governor on the occasion of its | levnehing at Newport News, Va., 2] in January.
